Commenting on the shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise (R-La.) and
three other people by a left-wing Bernie Sanders-supporter on Wednesday,
Reverend Franklin Graham said "leftist progressives" will not "let go
of losing the election" and "they want to destroy the president."

One party hating the other so badly. No compromising. No cooperation. No
camaraderie."

"Some are saying the shooting of GOP House Majority
Whip Steve Scalise was caused by ‘political rhetorical terrorism,'"
said Graham. "Think about it. Plays and music videos said to be
depicting the assassination of the president, a comedian holding up the
decapitated likeness of the head of the president. Relentless,
hate-filled rhetoric."

James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois, who aspired to end his
life as a mass murderer of Republican Congressmen, was a Donald Trump
hater and a Bernie Sanders backer.

Like many before him, Hodgkinson was a malevolent man of the hating and hard left.

His planned atrocity failed because two Capitol Hill cops were at
that Alexandria baseball field, providing security for House Whip Steve
Scalise. Had those cops not been there, a massacre would have ensued
with many more dead than the gunman.

Judicial Watch today announced it filed a Freedom of Information
(FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for information
about former FBI Director James Comey’s memorandum written after his
meeting with President Trump regarding potential interference by the
Russians in the 2016 presidential election (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-01189)
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia after the Department of Justice failed to respond to a May 16
FOIA request seeking:

The memorandum written by former Director
James Comey memorializing his meeting and conversation with President
Trump regarding the FBI’s investigation of potential Russian
interference in the 2016 United States presidential election. For
purposes of clarification, this memorandum was reportedly written on or
about February 13, 2017 and is the subject of a New York Timesarticle … dated May 16, 2017.

The memo purportedly recounts a conversation between President Trump and Comey about a pending investigation of Gen. Mike Flynn.

Judicial Watch is pursuing six FOIA lawsuits (see here, here, here, here and here)
related to the surveillance, unmasking, and illegal leaking targeting
President Trump and his associates during the FBI’s investigation of
potential Russian involvement.

“That we have to sue in federal court to get a document that was read to a reporter at The New York Times
is a scandal,” stated Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “This Comey
memo should be released forthwith and, frankly, the president can and
should order its immediate release.”

Mediaite has learned that a producer recently resigned
from a Fox News program citing plans to join O’Reilly in a new online
video project that is soon to launch. The producer also added that there
are broadcast plans to follow shortly as well , but did not reveal any
specifics beyond that.

When reached for comment, O’Reilly told Mediaite “We are assembling a team of journalists and are considering a number of options as BillOReilly.com is quickly developing into a major enterprise.”

In many respects, the Trump phenomenon was the rebellion of the country
party against the negligent and often malicious rule of the court.

The endurance of the system of Jeffersonian finance based upon the
Independent Treasury system was remarkable given the post war
transformation of the United States from an agrarian country to an
industrial one. Tariff rates had increased, large subsidies were being
awarded to the railroads, and the federal government drifted slowly but
inexorably toward imperialism. The last major Jeffersonian edifice, the
Independent Treasury, fell to the new Federal Reserve Bank (hereafter
FRB) in 1913.

Republican hopes that the election of President Trump would open
the federal government's vaults to investigators probing Obama-era
scandals including Fast and Furious and the IRS have died as burrowed-in
workers try to "wait out" until the president leaves office, said a top
House GOP member.

In a blunt exit interview, retiring Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the outgoing
chairman of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee, said
stonewalling by agencies is just as bad as it was during the Obama era.

"I think if we went to the senior most people, even the president
himself, they would be pulling their hair out and they would hate to
hear that but within the bowels of the organization, they just seem to
circle the wagons and think, oh we just, we can just wait you out. We
can just wait you out," he said on the upcoming Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, airing Sunday.

But Chaffetz, who surprised Washington when he announced his
retirement set for June 30, also hit the president, top appointees and
even congressional Republicans for refusing to play offense.

Assata Shakur, a.k.a. Joanne Chesimard is a former(?) Black Panther and Black Liberation Army agitator
and cop killer. She has been a fugitive from justice for nearly 40
years and openly thumbs her nose at her victim’s family while living in
Cuba as a political asylee. In 1973, Chesimard shot and killed New
Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster execution-style during a traffic stop. She is currently hiding from US authorities in Cuba.

As Officer Foerster lay on the ground wounded and helpless, Shakur grabbed his gun and blasted two shots into his head.

The politically motivated assassination attempt of a Republican
congressman this week is further proof that we need to improve our "lethal politics," the New York Times declared in an editorial.

The Gray Lady and others could make a start by ending their slander
of conservatives. But The Times has no such instinct or apparent
intention. Instead it dusted off a 6-year-old lie alleging former Alaska
Gov. Sarah Palin incited a mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz., which left
six people dead and more than a dozen wounded, including former Rep.
Gabby Giffords.

The paper's
editorial board wrote that "the link to political incitement was clear."
This is a lie. No clear link was established with Palin, and the Tucson
shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, was reportedly apolitical. His obsession
with Giffords started before Palin became nationally known in 2008.

Mike Parker, an English instructor at East Carolina University, spoke on
the historical development of the North Carolina Constitution from 1776
through 1971, highlighting changes in the state 1868 constitution aimed
at destroying states' rights and sealing the secession question. He
traced how power shifted from landowners in the early constitutions to
popular vote - an elective process that largely excluded former
Confederate soldiers from the electorate.

He referred members to HB 147 which seeks to repeal 'ban on secession' in the NC constitution and to The NC Heritage PAC which supports diverse
efforts to defend and preserve the heritage, traditions, monuments,
cemeteries, flags, emblems, and other legacies of North Carolina history
against those efforts to remove, deface, legislate against, alter, or
otherwise corrupt or pervert their meaning, history, presentation and
standing in our state.

London’s Grenfell Tower was made worse by government “green energy
requirements” that allowed fire to rapidly engulf the building
Wednesday, leaving at least 17 people dead and scores more wounded or
missing.

While it’s unknown what sparked the fire, experts say that the
cladding, or exterior insulation, created a chimney effect through which
the fire rapidly spread upwards. The cladding was added to Grenfell’s
exterior in 2015 as part of a $12.8 million retrofit.

“I have never seen a fire that has engulfed an entire building like
this in a career of more than 30 years,” Matt Wrack, who heads the Fire
Brigades Union, told The Telegraph.

“It could be that this is the quest for sustainability trumping other
concerns,” echoed Dr. Jim Glockling of the Fire Protection Association.

“There has been an emerging body of evidence surrounding some of the
materials being used and now we have an appalling demonstration of what
can happen,” Glockling said.

Donald
Trump's election gave voice to the growing conviction of many Americans
that their elected officials had strayed from their constitutional
obligations—that they had been derelict in allowing the destruction of
limited government.

President Trump has identified a number of critical issues for our
country: eliminating regulations, cutting taxes, creating jobs,
enforcing
immigration laws, and fixing healthcare. We will see if the President
can play a critical role in shaping policy in these areas. Whether he is
successful will have impact for generations to come.

But already there is much, and growing,
resistance to what the President proposes be done.

This
raises important questions: What is the
extent and what are the limits of presidential power in regard to public
policy? What is the proper relation of the president with the other two
constitutional branches? And what is his relation to the “fourth
branch”—the enormous federal bureaucracy?

Thomas Jefferson wrote, "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the
preservation of our liberty.”

The opportunity for constitutional renewal in America is greater than it has been in
decades. But it will require rededicated efforts by “We the People” - the true and only sovereign source of authority under the
Constitution - to see this work through.

The shooting at a Republican baseball practice in Virginia shouldn’t
come as a surprise. It’s the result of months of establishment agitprop.
From Kathy Griffin posing with Trump’s severed head to a Trump-like
Julius Caesar killed in Central Park play, the media has fixated on
strife between the two establishment parties.

Pollsters had major trouble spotting the surge of support for Corey Stewart in Virginia’s Republican governor’s primary this week, suggesting they still can’t figure out how to successfully survey Trump supporters.

Mr. Stewart, chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and onetime Trump
campaign chairman in Virginia, ran as the Trump figure in the race,
pursuing an anti-establishment message that centered around a tough
approach to illegal immigration.

Polling — which was strikingly infrequent — showed Mr. Stewart failing to crack 20 percent support, trailing Ed Gillespie, the putative front-runner, by as much as 27 percent. In the end, Mr. Gillespie nipped Mr. Stewart by just 1 point, 44 percent to 43 percent. That left a lot of Trump-style Stewart supporters hidden in earlier polls.

Michael McKenna, a Virginia-based pollster and strategist, said the results should be another wake-up call.

President Trump announced Friday morning that he is being
investigated for firing former FBI Director James Comey by the man who
told him to fire him–Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein.

TGP recently reported on the Washington Post story
that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating President Donald
Trump for obstruction of justice. The Post noted that Mueller was
actually picking up an investigation into Trump that was started after
he fired FBI Director James Comey on May 9.

POTUS Trump tweeted, “I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt!

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday June 16, 2017 shows
that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job
performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.
This is the first time the president’s overall approval rating has hit
the 50% mark since late April. His approval rating has ranged from a
high of 59% in late January shortly after he took office to a low of 42%
in early April.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
